In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
Now heaven knows
Anything goes!

Good authors, too
Who once knew better words
Now only use four-letter words
Writing prose
Anything goes!

The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today
And black's white today
And day's night today
What most guys today
That women prize today
Are just silly gigolos

And though I'm not a great romancer
I know that you're bound to answer
When I propose
Anything goes!
